Haha, this is funny. This is what I get for doing this nonsense between college classes.
Human Events is a conservative source commenting on another conservative source. Now I definitely don't believe anything coming from this think tank.
From how I've always understood it, natural gas is what's really been killing coal, not the EPA:

Natural gas is cheap and getting cheaper. It's probably only a matter of time until it becomes the primary source of energy in the US. With our without the EPA, looks like coal would be on it's way out either way. And given that it's a cleaner source to, I would think it's all for the best in the long run.
